Mr. Kieran Brennan:

I will share with the Senator my experience in Chad. My force commander was Brigadier-General Jean-Philippe Ganascia, of the French Armed Forces. Operations were directed from his headquarters but I had autonomy in respect of how those missions were carried out. He provided us with the logistical support and direction in relation to what needed to be done. We carried them out in accordance with our standard operating procedures and our practices.
